The Lowlakes Australian Tour 2013 has been announced to coincide with the release of the band’s new tune, ‘Newborn’.
Melbourne dark-pop four-piece Lowlakes today released the first single from their forthcoming debut LP Iceberg Nerves and announced new national and European tour dates in October.
Produced by Kunsthaus Records’ Manfred Kaindel, ‘Newborn’ is a trip-inducing call to introspection; layered with a late-night atmospheric intensity Lowlakes is best regarded for and punctuated by lead singer Tom Snowdon’s mesmerising croon.
In the vein of Massive Attack, Depeche Mode and Fever Ray, it’s an otherworldly experience, and a taste of the deep sonic explorations that can be expected on Iceberg Nerves, which is due out in February.
‘Newborn’ is cast against a darker backdrop than Lowlakes’ acclaimed self-titled 2012 EP, which won them strong support on the US college radio scene and live appearances in the USA and across Europe. Where the Lowlakes EP was delicately composed, Iceberg Nerves promises a beautifully haunting scene – more challenging in its makeup and more emotive in its reveal. Against this backdrop, Lowlakes is truly arresting.
Lowlakes will play six dates on home-soil in October to support the release of ‘Newborn’ before heading back to Europe for a run of shows with Canadian groundbreakers Half Moon Run.
